Why did I do what I did

So there is this man that I would do anything for. He means the world to me. For some reason I said something to someone something he had said and he took it and blew it completely out of purportion. States he don't want the world to know his business. Now he tells me he loves me but cant do my high school drama. Why would I hurt a man that I love so much. I feel like I can't go on without him.

Look up hostile attribution and attachment theory. It should help you get started on gaining some insight, and learning how to tell what is a red flag or not. This one sounds like it could be one. Guys with a strong hostile attribution are those you typically want to stay away from. I know I should not be generalizing just from the little you said about him and jump to conclusions. It should like he may have avoidant personality tendencies, but from a single incident it's hard to say. Read about it and see what you think. I'm not just looking at what you said about him, however, but what you wrote about yourself as well that provides clues. Be careful. Guys who have significant attachment issues typically attract partners who would "would do anything for." If you "can't go on without him" then brace yourself. You may end up with a lifetime of drama you never thought you would!

I was always taught to never let a man think that you need him. I fully agree with this for my own sake. Some men will take your loving kindness (which is what it sounds like you give to him) and turn it against you and trap you and make you feel like you'll never be good enough for anyone else. don't bow to him when he pitches a fit about drama. Just say, 'alright, I gotcha' and say nothing more. because then he'll be like 'what?!' but he can't get mad because you did nothing wrong. as a matte of fact, you agreed to do what he asked. what shocks them is the calmness and lack of sadness. don't act like it hurts your feelings when he says stuff like that. trust me, that'll get his attention more.
